Not sure, can you be more specific on "modesetting" as
grepping the /usr/src/linux/.config does not find anything,
so I'm not exactly sure what "modesetting" refers to....
Nothing under the "Generic Driver section of the kernels
I have been using has changed. The kernel worked before
I began following web pages and notes from this list
on removing hald and the hal flag from the system. I did
rebuild the kernel-2.6.36-gentoo-r5 after these
hal purge exercises began.....
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug"
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not set
CONFIG_STANDALONE=y
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y

Here are the setting from .config, as they always have
been: (I'd prefer not to use modsetting, unless provided
a GOOD reason to use it?)
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="/sbin/hotplug"
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not set
